What IRTE Workshop Accreditation Involves

Accreditation from the Institute of Road Transport Engineers (IRTE) serves as a mark of professional competence for workshop centres working on commercial vehicles. It verifies that your technicians and your facility meet accepted standards for safety, quality and technical competence.

For a workshop, achieving IRTE accreditation means demonstrating that staff are trained and qualified, procedures are in place and records are kept to a standard operators trust. It also provides operators and customers with assurance that you follow best practice and meet regulatory expectations.

At the workshop accreditation audit stage our team assesses the following: training and qualification records of technicians, workshop processes, quality control systems, tooling and equipment, safety protocols, and audit trail of previous work and inspections. We produce a report identifying strengths and areas for improvement. This helps you meet IRTE standards and maintain a robust, compliant workshop environment.

Who Should Seek Workshop Accreditation

This accreditation is relevant for:
  • Workshops servicing HGVs, PSVs or commercial-vehicle fleets where clients or operators demand IRTE-recognised centres.
  • Workshop managers, engineering directors or maintenance leads responsible for technical competence, quality systems and compliance.
  • Operators who either own their workshops or use external centres and want assurance that those centres meet a professional standard.
If you want your workshop to stand out, to support accredited technicians or to attract operator-business clients with strict compliance demands, then IRTE accreditation adds genuine value.

If IRTE is part of a wider compliance review, explore our Transport Compliance Audits for joined-up audit coverage.

What the Accreditation Process Covers and How We Support It

Assessment Areas

  • Technician competence and qualification records. The process checks that staff hold recognised technician certifications and any relevant IRTE licences or equivalent.
  • Workshop operations and process control. This includes inspection and test procedures, quality audits, calibration of equipment, tool condition and layout.
  • Workshop health and safety systems, documentation of work, record-keeping and traceability of vehicles, job cards and inspection history.
  • Compliance and workshop governance. We review how your workshop handles defect categorisation, maintains systems, complies with operator licence requirements or audit requests.
  • External reporting and marketing recognition. Once accredited your workshop can promote the IRTE-recognised status, which builds confidence with operators and clients.

Delivery and Support

  • Initial audit visit. Our assessor visits your facility, reviews documentation, interviews personnel and helps you understand where you stand against the IRTE standard.
  • Gap analysis. Following the audit you’ll receive a detailed report listing gaps, recommendations and timescales to bridge them.
  • Support and action plan. We work with you to help adjust processes, introduce quality controls, train staff or reorganise documentation.
  • Accreditation confirmation. Once you meet the standards, your workshop is listed on the IRTE register and receives approval certificates and marketing material.
